I don't know the status of Marcs waiting list.. I have all the whistles i want a.t.m.
Guess the only way to find out is to send a mail/PM to the man himself

Let me throw Löfgren in the ring. His low D is the only one i have kept.. Of course a purely subjective opinion but i'd say try a Löfgren or be sorry you didn't :) Oh, and also - don't paint yourself into a corner by avoiding whistles that takes getting used to, they often prove to be the keepers, v...

My uncle had a pot metal one with a swastika logo (i know it's an ancient symbol) still it was a good laugh and referred to as the nazi whistle. It played somewhere between C and C# reasonably in tune with itself actually.

They're worth whatever impatient people with swollen wallets decide..

I know Yellowhistler (Marc Löfgren) here on C&F has and plays a concert D Butler, don't know how much he knows about it/them though

Up!
Act now or be sorry you didn't

In the late 60's (in Sweden) there was a small boom for Indian whistles, both metal and bamboo. This one looks like those of that era, crude holes and all.

With all due respect i'd rather get the "true" McManus.

Now only one Impempe in the key of D remaining, cheers

I wouldn't buy (another) Burke low G as the sound is very bland IMO, after selling the Burke i got a Overton Goldie that i liked much better, it had a bit too much back pressure for my taste though so i replaced it with a Löfgren. Haven't looked back (or elsewhere :) ) since. Of course it's the usua...

Just the Impempes left, couldn't edit original post.
Cheers.

Did he use a tripod for support? I can only imagine what a copper flute would weigh..

I have rounded up some whistles i haven't played for ages, they're all perfectly sound, very good whistles, but i seem to have settled on my "go to" whistles, so these rarely get played, which is a shame. SOLD: Löfgren brass and blackwood key of D - €110 (they go for €164 new) https://dl.d...

I'm also curious about low F.. Already the G is what i feel one step to far using the Generation head. I do respect Jerry and his whistles, the Mellow Dog is a favorite, but the A and G .. well, not for me.
